What might be instructive is a comparator between what Canada could be doing and what the European Union is looking at under its proposed regulation on artificial intelligence. There, it clearly recognizes that individual risk assessments for the purposes of immigration and refugee processing are high risk. There are conversations around an outright ban of individualized risk assessment that can be used for profiling and for strengthening systemic discrimination, which is already something our immigration system is replete with.
I think there is an opportunity for the Canadian government to really think through how best to regulate the use of facial recognition technology for the purposes of immigration. You're absolutely right. It is already in use, both within Canada and also with its regional partners, like the United States, with whom it also shares a lot of the data.
Data sharing is an element we didn't really discuss today, but it's something that we all need to pay more attention to.
